Call of Duty: Warzone Glitch Is Getting Players Suspended From Matches

Call of Duty: Warzone Glitch Causes Unfair Suspensions and Player Outrage

A game-breaking bug in Call of Duty: Warzone is causing widespread frustration among players, particularly those participating in Ranked Play. The glitch triggers automatic suspensions following game crashes caused by developer errors. This isn't just an inconvenience; players are receiving 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty for each occurrence.

The Call of Duty franchise, despite its popularity, has faced persistent criticism recently due to glitches and cheating issues. While developers have implemented fixes and anti-cheat measures, the recent Black Ops 6 Season 1 launch and a subsequent major update, while promising improvements, seem to have introduced new problems instead.

The latest Warzone update, as highlighted by CharlieIntel on Twitter, has introduced a critical flaw in Ranked Play. Game crashes, often due to developer errors, are incorrectly flagged as intentional quits, leading to the aforementioned suspensions and SR penalties. CoD content creator DougisRaw further emphasizes the severity of the SR loss, impacting player progression and competitive rankings. This is particularly damaging as SR dictates a player's division and end-of-season rewards.

Player Backlash and the Urgent Need for Developer Action

Player reactions have been overwhelmingly negative. Reports detail lost win streaks and demands for SR compensation. The general sentiment expresses significant disappointment, with some players bluntly criticizing the game's current state.

The situation is exacerbated by recent reports showing a dramatic drop in player numbers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, nearing a 50% decline on platforms like Steam. This downturn, despite the recent addition of content like the Squid Game collaboration, underscores the urgent need for immediate developer intervention to address these issues and retain players. The current situation, with unfair suspensions and a dwindling player base, paints a concerning picture for the future of the game.
